shell: fix leaking strings

Browse Source 
There are two memory leaks in "shell.c". The first one in `run_shell()`
is trivial and fixed without further explanation. The second one in
`cmd_main()` happens because we overwrite the `prog` variable, which
contains an allocated string. In fact though, the memory pointed to by
that variable is still in use because we use `split_cmdline()`, which
may create pointers into the middle of that string. But as we do not
have a direct pointer to the head of the allocated string anymore, we
get a complaint by the leak checker.

Address this by not overwriting the `prog` pointer.
